The cs was GKD Key Lime and white csm with dp from K & Company. The bird is colored with the powdered chalk mixed with Distress Range Crackle Paint (Clear Rock Candy). I embossed the folder with Paper Studio's Poteeka Bird and some was stamped with Versa Mark and then chalked and some was Direct to paper chalked.

Tea Time

This is for the Speedy Fox and Friends Challenge at Mark's Finest Papers a Heinrich Company -- use a shaped card. I hope you enjoy making it as much as I did! Here is the website to enter and check out more cards!

I used a tea pot pattern from the Cutting Cafe and cut it out on white cs from MFP, then Stawberry Freeze cs and the dp is from K & Company. The lid of the tea pot is popped out with foam dots. The stamp set is Floral Tea from MFP a HC and I used copics to color it in to match the dp and then used Beaded Ovals Spellbinders to cut out the oval. Took a pink ribbon and weaved it in and out...added a little bling and it is the perfect card to send to a friend to share a cup and relax! I decided it would also work for a lunch invite to my friend who always drinks tea!

Hope you can join us for this challenge and add a little variety to your card making and make a shaped card....I am finding that I really am enjoying that little bit of something "different" to challenge me!

Just to finish it off!

Love is in the Air

This is for the For Fun Challenge...Love sponsored by Meljens and there are the cutest digi stamps there! I couldn't resist and had to pick this one! (enter your challenge here!)

I used the QuicKutz nesting Doily Hearts diecut to make the background for the digi stamp. Colored with Copics and Sakura Glitter Pens on GKD white cs, Bubblegum pink cs and some dp from the Valentine stash. I wove the red ribbon through the heart and attached a bow, some heart brads and added some stickers for Love! This could easily be a Valentine or Anniversary card spreading the LOVE!

Inside hugs too!

An Irish Blessing Fairy

 This is my first card for the Design Team at MyGrafico! I am excited to be joining this group!!! They have some wonderful and exciting projects and I will have to work really hard to think "outside the box" and come up with some creative projects! Good for the ole brain to do some thinking!

This first challenge starts February 6 -February 17 and is sponsored by Sarah Paris. You can win this fairy image. (here is the website)

The theme of the challenge is Let's Go Green....so I opted to have my fairy become an Irish fairy and she is sending us all an Irish blessing! She is a digi stamp and colored with Copics and Sakura glitter pens and then cut out. The cardstock was creme de menthe from GKD and the Irish dp is from Best Creations. I used a patter from Cutting Cafe to make the shamrocks and layered it on the front and put the fairy on top of the Martha Stewart pearls. Added some embellishments, some more pearls,  and a rub on saying on the bottom with a ribbon and bow.    

The inside is also a rub on saying with some added coins. And I hope that Irish blessing comes true! Happy St. Patty's Day!

The chalks used were Red, Rose, Rain, Pearl Purple, Nifty and Blush on the roses and Sherbert on the leaves. I also used a green copic on the stems and accented with Sakura glitter pens. The cs was MFP Snow Storm and then the background was purple GKD, stash Valentine paper. The image was cut out with Spellbinders Scalloped Hearts. The sentiment was stamped with Memento and then the background direct chalk to paper sponge. Also sponged the background of the heart. Added some ribbon and some bling and Happy Valentine's to you!

Happy Birthday Wishes

                                           (Here is the website to enter you challenge)
I decided flowers was the way to go....so decided to use MFP a Heinrich Company's stamp set Happy Pansies for my images. I colored those with Copics and Sakura glitter pens and then cut them out and popped them on the front of the card. The base of the cad is GKD Key Lime cs, white cs by GKD for the Smooch spray, snow storm smooth MFP for the images and the dp is Tim Coffey and stash vellum.

I tried to create sun rays on my white cs for the background of the pansies using Smooch sprays...used post it notes to move along and instead of using the usual ink to sponge the rays I did a spray and then added some blue for the sky and the bottom is green for grass. Had to add a little Bling, ribbon and the sentiment is Spellbinders Grommet tags die cut.

The inside also has some pearls, ribbon and sentiment as well.  And I do hope you have a fabulous day! Hope you can find some spray and I'll eagerly wait to see what you create!

More birthday wishes!
